Essence P.O.V.

As I woke up my head was throbbing and I felt like crap as usual, not a shocker there. I heard my name being shouted from upstairs. Now I know some of you are wondering upstairs? Yes upstairs, I'm forced to live in the basement. They said the room suits my style, did I mention that this room looks like shit? Yup that's what they think of me, but I wouldn't-

"ESSENCE! GET YOUR TAIL UP HERE NOW!!!" My thoughts were interrupted by someone shouting again. Ugh!! Can't I get a break? Seeing as I slept in my clothes yesterday I didn't need to change. Walking up all those stairs was hard considering I'm fat. I had just reached the door when suddenly it opened and I went tumbling down the stairs.

I know your probably confused as to how I fell. Well most basement doors swing out to avoid accidents, but my basement door swings in. While I was tumbling down the stairs all I thought was I'm gonna die. The thought of being six feet under brought joyful tears to my eyes. Yeah, that's how much the pod hurts me. All of a sudden I feel a sharp pain in my shoulder and my falling has ceased.

I can't help it but start to cry. Not because I didn't get my wish and die or because of the extreme pain in my shoulder which is badly bleeding, no it's because all I here at the top of the stairs is a crowd of laughter. How can they think that my pain is funny? If it were anybody else they would have taken you to the healer to make sure you aren't seriously injured. But no!! I'm not anybody else, I'm the mermaid that will never be beautiful. I will never be treated the way everyone else in the pod is treated. All because I'm different!!!

After a while the crowd went away, but not without some very hurtful words. I just laid there at the bottom of my staircase weeping like the sorry excuse I am. I realized that I was losing a lot of blood. My vision was starting to become blurry. I thought maybe I do get my wish of being dead. That was my final thought before I passed out.
